I would also like to echo what has been said about the :: operator, which feels out of place. I understand that \ comes with additional autoloading challenges, namely requiring a fallback autoloading strategy that currently does not conform to PSR-4.

Could you please elaborate on why the :: operator feels out of place? \ is a namespace separator. :: is a class scoping separator. You, yourself did decide to use nested :: for property hook scoping, like parent::$x::set() - a property scoped within a class, having methods. The same applies here - it's a class scoped within a class, having methods. Breaking from these patterns seems very surprising to me. Bob
